Traditional Thursday (Recipe Edition)

Fruit Tea
In the South, sweet tea is a staple and every southern girl has her own favorite recipe for making it. In the summer, we get even fancier with our sweet tea. I am a huge fan of Fruit Tea, especially in the summer and that is the recipe I’m sharing with you today. Enjoy!

 
Ingredients:
6 regular tea bags
4 cups boiling water
1 ½ cups sugar
1 (6oz.) can frozen orange juice concentrate
1 (6oz.) can frozen lemonade concentrate
10 cups water
2 teaspoons almond flavoring

Place tea bags in boiling water. Let steep 5 minutes. Remove tea bags. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Add remaining ingredients. Stir until well mixed. Best if allowed to ripen in refrigerator overnight. Mix well before serving.
